Fire Delays Lil Wayne's Sentencing









Thanks to a small fire, Weezy remains a citizen for one more day.

If this were me, I'd totally be having some sort of Larry David-like moment where I'd be like "Take me to jail already! I've already said goodbye to everyone, why do I have to do it again? All the awkward hugs and handshakes. Jeez, lock me up!"

What do you think will come first: Lil Wayne actually going to jail or Dr. Dre finally releasing Detox? My money's on Detox.

Lil Wayne speaks on the topic of his dental surgery...sort of

When the Saints Go Marching In


Don't you love it when cultural (and not military) history repeats itself?

Think about it: Jay Electronica (pictured above) is an incredibly talented artist from New Orleans who has definitely found his home (at least sonically) in New York. Doesn't that sound a bit like the great sonic migration of jazz musicians from the South to Harlem back in the twentieth century? Those were the days.

Oh, and for those of you who think that a Jay Electronica-Louis Armstrong comparison is more than just a bit sacrilegious; relax. I'm just happy that another Southern artist has mixed up his style with the New York sound.

We all win when worlds collide.

Anyways, ignore my bastardization of history and get this mixtape.

You won't be disappointed.


The Knux - The F*ck You EP




Shit, I still bump that tune. Check out the latest release from the duo who are "Hollywood by way of New Orleans".

After watching "The Carter" documentary I deleted all of my Wayne music. I always knew Weezy was a delusional egotistical martian, but that film was the final nail in the coffin for my tolerance of his fuckery.

After several weeks of a Weezy-free lifestyle, my day to day experiences improved ten-fold, until I saw this track. Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.

The sad thing about all of this is that this tune isn't bad at all, and Wayne and Em prove to be a potent lyrical combination. Wayne's chorus is surprisingly catchy and very, ahem, "rock and roll".

I suppose it's nice to see Wayne get what he's always wanted: a legitimate rock track and a collabo with Eminem. Hopefully Slim's lyrical massacre will teach Wayne some humility.

Oh Eminem, when will you stop murdering people on their own shit?

I haven't seen this yet, but I really hope they go in on that purp.



I had a hard enough time taking this show seriously before, but after that Simpsons episode, no dice.

No Knux, fuck you.

Get this song though, cause once again the duo who are "Hollywood by way of New Orleans" deliver.
